The human anatomy laboratory at Methodist is a critical component of
the first semester Physician Assistant experience. The Gross Anatomy course
is designed to provide a working knowledge of human anatomy, an understanding
of physiology, disease processes, diagnostic radiology, surgical and traumatic
conditions, and interventional therapy. PA students have described the
course as an "invaluable" and "irreplaceable" experience,
and PA faculty members believe that this anatomy laboratory lays a strong
foundation for the MU Physician Assistant Program and its outstanding
success.In 2010 the program opened the doors to an on-campus Anatomy Lab
that can accommodate 50 students and 14 cadavers. The anatomy lab is in
the top 1% of dissection labs in the nation based on technologies and
equipment.

In 2010, the program also opened the doors to a 7,200 sq. ft. Medical
Lecture Hall with a 161 seat auditorium and four breakout classrooms.
The Medical Lecture Hall is home to all didactic classes.
